The Reproduction of

Cell
1. CHARACTERIZE THE PHASES OF THE CELL
CYCLE AND THEIR CONTROL POINTS.
2. IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENT PHASES OF
EVENTS DURING MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS.
3. COMPARE MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS.
4. DESCRIBE CROSSING OVER AND
RECOMBINATION OF MEIOSIS.
5. CITE SOME DISORDERS AND DISEASES THAT
RESULT FROM THE FAILURE OF THE CELL
DURING CYCLE.
The dream of every cell is
to become two cells.

-Francois Jacob
 Interphase
G1 Phase (First Gap)
The cell synthesizes its
structural proteins and
enzymes.
Example: pancreas-insulin
S phase (Synthesis of DNA)

DNA within the nucleus

replicates, 2 DNA molecules
form in each chromosome
G2 Phase (Second Gap)

Cell prepares to divide,

spindle fibers form.
Factors for Comparison Mitosis Meiosis

Number of Division

Crossing Over (Yes/No)

Synapsis (Yes or No)

Chromosome Number per

daughter cell
(haploid/diploid)

Centrioles move at the

opposite poles (Yes/No)

Four daughter cells are

produced from one
daughter cell (Yes/No)

Two daughter cells are

produced from one parent
cell (Yes/No)
Guide questions
1. In which type of cells does mitosis takes
place?
2. In which type of cell does meiosis take
place?
3. How does prophase 1 of meiosis differ from
prophase of mitosis?
4. Distinguish mitosis from meiosis in terms
of number of cell division, number of
daughter cells produced and number of
chromosomes.

with Meiosis
